to vote on a whole bunch of stuff while the Republickers are safely out of the way?
For example, an Impeachment resolution?

1. We'd have to have the numbers |
|
to make impeachment stick.

3. Only if they don't tell the Re-Pubics about it. |
|
The ones NOT up for re-election in 2008 would probably skip the convention in order to "defend" fascism.

but it would be seen for what it was: a cheap, underhanded political trick, and it would backfire horribly.
Honestly, I don't understand the strong desire here to see Dems be assholes.

6. Probably because the Repubs were assholes |
|
and it took several elections for them to be called on it.
I don't think we should be assholes, but the temptation is there. Like threatenting to use the 'nuclear option' in the Senate and removing the filibuster.

5. It's called "having a quorum," and we wouldn't have one. |

By parliamentary procedure, a certain number of members must be present to do business.
